A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 1.1.1.297

Accepted Name

Limonene-1,2-diol dehydrogenase.

Reaction catalysed

Menth-8-ene-1,2-diol + NAD(+) <=> 1-hydroxymenth-8-en-2-one + NADH

Comment(s)

While the enzyme from the Gram-positive bacterium Rhodococcus
erythropolis DCL14 can use both (1S,2S,4R)- and (1R,2R,4S)-menth-8-
ene-1,2-diol as substrate, activity is higher with (1S,2S,4R)-menth-
8-ene-1,2-diol as substrate.
